<p>1) i take yearly mission trips with church youth group to build house in juarez mexico for impoverished family-write about impact it has on my life/how it made me grateful, realize how i want to make community service a larger part of my life
2) why i want 2 be an aerospace engineer (some of colleges i will be applying to dont offer this major), explain my fascination with space and design, etc.</p>

<p>should i write both/ or just one? is it better to write a couple of essays and pick and choose which to use for which application?
thanx</p>

<p>Why are you applying to colleges that do not offer what would apparently be the most logical major for you? </p>

<p>You should choose whichever topic allows your writing to be to be the most personal, specific, honest and revealing.</p>

<p>i think 1 is better than 2
theres more to write about</p>

<p>Both of these are pretty common topics, unless there is a cool and unusual reaspn why you want to be an aerospace engineer...</p>

<p>One is boring, everybody does it. So is two. Think of something more....unusual.</p>
